Hi guys,
My drivers side front wheel is making a noise. And im not sure if its just wheel balancing or a wheel bearing or something else.
It doesnt do it all the time, mostly when i go on the dual carriageway and then slow down to town speeds it does it constantly after that no matter the speed.
When doing 70mph the steering wheel shakes, and at low speeds I can feel a small vibration in the accelerator pedal in time with the knocking sound.
Any ideas?

I would get the tracking looked at or jack the car up check for play by wobbling wheel (eg holding hands at 5:50 and wobble)

I had a similar problem. Was the Balljoint and excessive wear.
